Wendy,

Thanks for the information on Marilyn Shepherd. I have often wondered about her vicious obsession for undermining Australia. If what you say is true, she is a person embittered by own shortcomings rather than someone who has a legitimate point of view.

Thankfully, someone like you can keep an eye on such people through technology; and exercise your right to expose them through the volunteers enabling OLO without fear of favour.

Marilyn has, in her most recent post, demonstrated her illusions of grandeur by suggesting that she is in the same league as people such as Howard Glenn and Julian Burnside and is, therefore, somehow entitled to the martyrdom of imprisonment.

I live within 10-15 minutes drive of Marilyn Shepherd, and would be prepared to have a personal chat with her if she so desired

Hmm, stupidity, ignorance and hatred, always so appealing. Why are you people so angry and scared? What have asylum seekers actually done to any of you?

Leigh: Seeking asylum is not illegal. And if Nauru is such a nice place to be, why don't you go and live there.

Mickijo: Who said anything about open migration? And people who come here have to abide by our laws, no question about it.

Wendy Lewthwaite: Do you seriously suggest that people who don't pay tax should not be allowed to have an opinion? If yes, should the opinions of people who pay a lot of tax be worth more than that of others who dont? Interesting idea, would suit me pretty well actually..

Hasbeen: How do you know that these are worthless people? And what do you know about building a decent society in a situation where you are persecuted by your own government? I somehow doubt you would be so keen on doing the dying you speak about so casually.

Do you people actually comprehend what these laws mean. They mean that even people who are persecuted, who have been tortured, beaten and raped by agents of the very governments who are supposed to protect them, are not welcome here. Australia doesn't want them. Tough luck Jack. We only care about us, screw you. Fine - if that is what you believe, then say it. But why stop with the asylum seekers? I don't feel much in common with Aborigines, screw them too. Women? Nothing but trouble, screw them. Collingwood supporters annoy me too. Screw them. And pensioners..dopey old parasites, what do they contribute to the economy. Screw them. And sick people, especially smokers with lung cancer (its there own fault, after all). Screw them.

In fact, screw everybody but me and my mates. Now thats the way to run a society!

Well said if only the shoe was on there foot would be interesting to see how their views would change but i must say i do dislike the magpies

Dear Wendy forgot a thing or two in her vicious attack on me personally as if me having an opinion she doesn't like is a crime. I am permanently disabled and incapable of being employed because my immune system has been killed by drugs required to keep me alive from one day to the next. She is so kind to suggest that I should get a job.

She also forgot to mention that she vociferously defends animal rights and ignores human rights totally. Over and over again she says that we are short of water but forgets that we actively encourage 5 million or more tourists each year and don't ask them to bring their own.

Perhaps Wendy doesn't mind slaughtered women and kids so long as no-one kills a cow.

Actually many on this forum seem to have totally missed out on the milk of human kindness for some. The Papuans are our nearest neighbours who are being tortured and killed by the hated Indonesian regime.

Or do you all think we should love and support the TNI - the people who slaughtered 183,000 East Timorese?

Please explain instead of making me the story, I am pretty sick of it.

M I am not sure about people posting things they know are untrue but I will find out for everybodys sake.
How many times were you invited to work by email with the man who runs the imagration support in Sydney? How many timese were you offered to work with our programe to create thousands of jobs both here and overseas in poor countries. What about all my aboriginal welfare projects and aged vcare projects that I offered you and begged you to become involved with from your own home? Your the one not doing anything for people not me.
Yes I put most of my energy into animal welfare and making all animal welfare groups more accountable because they ask the public for huge money and do nothing what so ever to help the animals 99 per cent of the time.
I will always stick up for the one who cant speak for himself.My point is if you can sit and type at home you can get off welfare at least partly.You dictate to people like you are someone of great influence such as a dudge or lawyer.Your not your a person on welfare with a bad attitude towards the hand that feeds you and your kids.

Hazara Shiites should goto the most obvious and 'sore thumb' stand out destination which is compatable with their theological leanings....IRAN.

Why the heck would they come to Australia, which is not Muslim, when Iran is just one border crossing away ? Its crazy.

I would never .. repeat NEVER have sympathy for someone who did that.
If the Hazara's have trouble in Afghanistan, they should ALL move to Iran and have peace. That's the way of the world. When people give you a hard time en masse just because of what you believe, you either declare war on them if you have the numbers or resources or you get the hell OUT of there.

BUT...... don't come to Australia which is thousands of miles away and risk ur life in crappy old leaky boats, when there is a safe haven a few blocks away.

It raises the perennial question about 'is it really safe haven they want' or..... is it a new economic life ?

People.. (Wendy and Marilyn) lets keep this out of the mud slinging at each other dears :) and stick to the issues.
